Whatever basketball gets played 2011-12 to... ?

There may or may not be any NBA action this season, but college b-ball is on.

That Carrier Classic game in San Diego looked awesome! (especially the clouds and cityline behind) Both Ohio State and Pitt have easy opening wins. Last weekend, UCLA barely beat a scrappy Div. II Cal. State San Bernardino team (almost, 'Yotes! ).

Buckeyes handle Nebraska (still weird to have them as a conference opponent) on the road, but Pitt has turned to mush everywhere (had a nationally-ranked home win streak snapped this season) and is the only Big East team without a conference win ; even the YSU ladies lost. Then, my own school, the Coyotes, lose two AT HOME when they needed to make a run at their league title.

Oh, and something probably happened with the getting-paid teams league. According to the newspaper, a 6-10 Knicks team would be the #8 seed in the East. Nice quality, NBA.

Hey! NBA All-Star Game is on today! But so is NASCAR's Daytona 500, and some movie awards thingie. And some professional basketball player won a dunk contest last night.

On the college front; bad weekend. Losses for Pitt (gave up a lead to Louisville), OSU (same, but a late lead lost to the stinkin' Badgers), and YSU (4 point-loss); even my JC school lost in the state playoffs.

The Buckeyes, likely who would've been a #1 seed, lose a tough one to the Spartans and get the 2nd seed. Wait, Pitt didn't even make the NIT? Sad. YSU is getting better, but not yet good enough for a post-season tourney.

I'll take a look at the whole bracket and decide which teams WON'T win, then select them in the tournament, just like I have almost every year.
